Motivational Minute (053)


Quote of the day:

The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young. —Phillips Brooks

Consider:

I agree, it certainly does seem that sometimes the need is overwhelming and the burden of caring for our fellow humans is heavy. At times, I am tempted to feel discouraged that there is too much to do and I have so little to give compared to the great need.

Yet how true is the latter part of this quote. Christmas is a time when I feel young and my strength is renewed when I remember not just the duty of giving, but what great happiness and satisfaction it brings.

Why not try giving to someone this Christmas season who you know cannot repay you and see if the joy of giving does not rejuvenate you?
